Yungblud has announced his fourth album Idols... and revealed that it's just part one of what will be an ambitious double album.
The follow-up to the Yorkshire musician's self-titled third album [2022] is described by the artist as, “a love letter to self-reclamation... to rock music... [and] to life; in all it’s fucking madness.”
“I wanted to make a project that didn’t focus on singles or anything else except feeling and world-building," the Doncaster-born singer (aka Dominic Harrison) adds. "A project with no limitations.”
A press releases on the record states that it finds Yungblud exploring "the theme of hero-worship; how we look to others for validation, often putting others’ lives on a pedestal at the expense of the richness of our own experiences."
Harrison says, “We turn to others for an identity before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and change. As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to rationalise everything; our cage walls build up. We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we’ve even had our breakfast."
